Health Insurance moving jobs - qq on health insurance coverage

[Lockup]

Hi,
Moving jobs - both are with LAYA.

Have a gap between my final day in company A and starting in company B.

I believe there is a grace cover period for this but just thought I would ask the question to be sure?

How much of a break?
Not being covered for less that 13 weeks doesn't constitute a break in cover if that's what you're worried about?

What happens if I have a break in cover of more than 13 weeks?​

If you have a break in health insurance cover of more than 13 weeks, you may have to serve new customer waiting periods again. If you are aged 35 or above, a Lifetime Community Rating loading may also be added to the cost of your policy.

2 weeks in my case

So, worst case you're not covered for two weeks but have no break in cover.
If you need cover for the two weeks then contact Laya or your old/new employers and see if that can be arranged.
